The Cor Draconis (Precious) is an item from the dragon stone alchemy category in Metin2. Dragon stone alchemy was introduced with game version 13.3 on 26 February 2013 and is one of the central systems for character enhancement in the game. Dragon stones grant a variety of bonuses to your character – depending on the stone type, class, purity and level, the strength of these bonuses varies considerably.
What is the Cor Draconis (Precious)?
The Cor Draconis (Precious) is an item within the dragon stone alchemy in Metin2. It is assigned to the dragon stone alchemy category and thus plays a role in a system that makes characters progressively stronger through various stone bonuses. The "precious" in the name indicates a specific quality level or use within the alchemy system.
Anyone who deals intensively with dragon stone alchemy will encounter Cor Draconis sooner or later – especially when refining and improving dragon stones.
Dragon Stone Alchemy: Basics at a Glance
Dragon stone alchemy is a standalone system in Metin2 that functions separately from the normal inventory. Dragon stones are displayed exclusively in the dragon stone inventory, which you can open via a dedicated button in your inventory, in the chat bar or via an assigned key.
Since the introduction of the system, two major expansions have been made:
- Version 19.0 (22.01.2019): Mythic alchemy was added.
- Version 23.2 (26.07.2023): The dragon amethyst was introduced as a new stone type.
The system has become considerably more complex over the years. Anyone new to it should first familiarise themselves with the basic mechanics before attempting higher classes or mythic alchemy.
The Six Dragon Stone Types and Their Effects
There are six classic dragon stone types in Metin2, each with a different effect on the character. Additionally, with version 23.2, amethyst was introduced as a seventh type.
| Stone Type | Category |
|---|---|
| Onyx | Classic Type |
| Diamond | Classic Type |
| Ruby | Classic Type |
| Jade | Classic Type |
| Sapphire | Classic Type |
| Garnet | Classic Type |
| Amethyst | New from version 23.2 (July 2023) |
Each type has its own visual representation, which changes depending on purity and class. So the appearance of the stone tells you at a glance how refined it is.
The Three Improvement Levels: Class, Purity and Level
Dragon stones can be improved on three different levels. The interplay of these three levels determines how strong a dragon stone ultimately is:
1. Class
The class of a dragon stone determines how many bonuses it can have simultaneously. As the class increases, so does the number of possible bonuses. The classes in ascending order are:
- Raw
- Cut
- Rare
- Ancient
- Legendary
- Mythic
A stone of "Raw" class therefore has significantly fewer active bonuses than a "Legendary" or "Mythic" stone. Upgrading the class is therefore one of the most important goals in the dragon stone system.
2. Purity
The purity level of a dragon stone increases the strength of the existing bonuses. This means: the higher the purity, the more effective the stone's effects. Purity and class are independent of each other, but complement each other. A high-class stone with low purity might be less effective than a well-balanced stone.
3. Level
The level of a dragon stone also contributes to increasing its effectiveness. As with class and purity: higher level means stronger bonuses. Level, purity and class together determine the overall strength of a dragon stone.
| Level | What is affected? | Maximum extent |
|---|---|---|
| Class | Number of bonuses | Mythic |
| Purity | Strength of bonuses | Highest purity level |
| Level | Effect of bonuses | Highest level |
Where Do You Get Dragon Stones?
One of the most beginner-friendly methods to obtain dragon stones is the daily dragon stone quest. This quest is accessible to all characters level 30 and above. Besides the daily quest, there are other ways to collect dragon stones and related materials – including dragon stone shards.
Dragon stone shards are also a fixed part of the dragon stone alchemy category. They are called "dragon stone shards" and exist in various variants (e.g. dragon stone shard+). Collecting these shards is a common step towards improving your dragon stones.
Tips for Dragon Stone Alchemy for Beginners
- Open dragon stone inventory: Use the button in your inventory or the chat bar – the dragon stone inventory is separate from the normal inventory and is often overlooked.
- Do the quest daily: The daily dragon stone quest from level 30 is the easiest entry into the system.
- Class before purity and level: Generally, it's worth increasing class first, as more bonuses directly means more effect.
- Choose stone type consciously: Since each of the seven types has a different effect, you should inform yourself before investing which type suits your class and build.
- Keep dragon stone shards: Shards are often the basis for improvements – don't throw them away thoughtlessly.
